Alterlaa - Sattelite city


Alterlaa is a "sattelite city" just 4 subway stops away from Meidling station. There is six massive apartment houses in this complex! It was build in the 70s, it houses approximately 11.000 people, has over 3000 apartment, swimming pools on the roof and inside, saunas, a youth centre, its own shopping centre, a renter's-union, its own trash-recycling centre, and much more to explore. There is no 13th floor in any building. Sometimes, a man said, there are still "jumpers" from the rooftops. On a Sunday it feels like a calm park outside, and I wondered where these 11.000 people were. Probably having proper Viennese lunch at 1pm. I found a friendly technician who gave me a tour, here is the foto story.
